Hello,

When I open PF2000 from PFE (after I convert the flight plans,) I open and select the flight plan, enter a call sign and enter a cruising altitude, the "compile" button stays greyed out. What else is it that I need to do so that the compile button is not greyed out? Thanks much!

Please check the PFE FAQ's on our website, there are a few suggestions to try

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Thanks. I will try clicking on the real weather option and see if it works (not currently home)

What if I want to fly in non-real world weather though? I like to make custom weather. Would the ATIS not be correct then?

I am finally able to connect to get PFE to connect PFE, which is great. But once I am in FSX and press the ATC tab, it is still the default FSX ATC. I don't see anything new or don't know how to access the PFE ATC within FSX. I looked at the toolbar tabs and there's nothing there. When I press on ATIS on the default ATC, I hear the PFE audio. However, the other options are MS default ATC. Is there a different key I have to press to access the PFE ATC?

Please read the manual it has a tutorial in it. PFE does not and has never used the default MSFS ATC interface.

Ok, I understand that I need to press 0 to 9 to communicate with ATC, but does PFE have an interface that puts these choices up for you to choose from?

Also, I have selected closed caption text, it does caption ATC chatter but doesn't "save it" ie. scrolling up to see previous transmissions. Is this possible with PFE?

The voices sound realistic all the time except when they read numbers. Is there an option out there that enhances that in anyway?

Thanks

I have a feeling that even though I have enhancer selected and "use Voice Pack Only" in options 1, it is only using the original voices.

The reason for my post above is because when I select the pilot's voice from options one, I hear the "radar services terminated, squawk 1200" and the "1200" part is very fluid. Whereas when I am actually flying, numbers are said in a very robotic tone.

Yes its called PFEdisplayer please read the manual to find out how to use it. There is also a list of keys at the end of the manual, so please do read it when we ask you to, it will save us all a lot of time.

Please make sure you are updated to the latest version of PFE you should have version 2.14, if you haven't then follow the post below for details of how to perform an accumulative update.

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12

If you insist on not reading the whole manual then please at least follow the tutorial and the Version_History document in PFE\Help folder to see what's new.

Thanks for your help. I did read the manual, but I did not find anything on "PFEDisplayer" or anything related to that. I am updated to the newest version. Is this something I need to download or is it already built in to my PFE? I do have something called the FSUIPC Display but I don't think that is what you are talking about or what I am looking for. Thanks.
